Windows 10 version 1809 Slow Update Solved

We recently had a PC that needed a good clean install of Windows 10. This was a fairly fast PC with an i5 CPU, plenty of RAM, and a fast SSD. However, on the download and install of Feature Update 1809, the updater sat at 26% for over an hour. The next 30 minutes saw it climb to an astonishing 27%! Time for some big hammer action!

We rebooted the PC and followed this procedure. This method, and the PC was ready to go in under an hour. Pretty good for Windows 10 (we are getting accustomed to waiting a long time for Windows 10 updates.)

If it doesn’t allow you to rename – Type services in Windows Start Search box > Click Services > Scroll down to find the Windows Modules Installer service and double-click on it > Set its startup type to Manual > Reboot your computer
